Steadier Hog Markets Planned as Conference Sets Minimums
A three day Washington conference of the Live Stock Subcommittee and swine representatives with the Food Administration and 50 packing firms agreed to new minimums for November hog purchases. The plan aims to stabilize prices despite lower corn values, increased hog receipts, and influenza related demand shifts, by tying purchases to minimums of 17.50 per hundred pounds and 16.50 for throw-outs, managed under a Food Administration committee with packers and commission men co operating.
